?»?WATCH: Jared Goff dupes a junior college team into thinking he is their new transfer QB.
Goff went undercover with a wig and some fake tattoos to pull off a hilarious prank.
Jared Goff was made for Hollywood. He's tall, handsome, and athletic. He's got clout in Los Angeles. And, as we know now, he's a pretty good actor.
The 23-year-old Rams quarterback has apparently been spending his offseason working out with a junior college football team, but not as Jared Goff. No, instead, Goff went undercover and transformed into Dreaj Foge -- a former Division I quarterback who is a new arrival to the Ventura College football team in Southern California.
With the help of Red Bull, who helped orchestrate the prank, Goff got himself some long, flowing locks, as well as some fake tattoos and a facial mole that you could parachute onto.
He still looked a bit like Jared Goff, especially when he was chucking bombs down the field during practice, but apparently the disguise was enough to trick Ventura players into buying it. The reveal that came at the end of practice made it all worth it.
Cameras, which were there under the guise of filming a documentary, captured the whole process and it's worth a watch.
The reaction of those players once they realized they were in the presence of an NFL quarterback was pretty damn cool. Goff seemed to have fun with it all and, most importantly, he didn't blow his cover while delivering some pretty funny lines throughout the whole thing.
Ventura is a powerhouse junior college program and has a highly competitive roster filled with players looking to score scholarships from major college programs. The quarterbacks weren't thrilled when Goff showed up and threatened their reps, though in the end they were able to breathe easy.
That being said, I'm not sure that one quarterback will ever recover from the devastation he felt when Goff asked him if he was the punter.
Chock-Full of Loaded Receivers, NY Jarhead In Hell Have the Studs to Reach Playoffs.
Draft Summary.
Although they ended up with the No. 9 overall selection, NY Jarhead In Hell didn't let it get them down, building a roster capable of topping any team in U S M C Devil Dog Forever. The team is notably tough at receiver, as the top four WRs are slated to combine for the 3rd-highest point total of all starting receiver groups in the league. NY Jarhead In Hell are predicted to finish with a record of 10-4 (34,952 points), good enough for 3rd.
Best Pick.
What a great early-round bargain for NY Jarhead In Hell, who picked up Jackson in the 4th round, about two rounds later than his ADP of 17. Coming off a season in which he threw for 3,127 yards and 36 TDs with 6 INTs and racked up 1,206 yards and 7 TDs, totaling 1,177 fantasy points, Jackson is projected to score 1,001 fantasy points with the Ravens. That makes him a valuable No. 1 QB for this squad.
Reach Pick.
We'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you fell asleep right before selecting Mayfield with the 9th pick in the 11th round, about 15 picks earlier than his ADP of 124. Granted, you may be onto something? Projected to score 497 fantasy points this season with the Browns, he appears set to top last year when he threw for 3,827 yards and 22 TDs with 21 interceptions to earn 412 fantasy points. Mayfield will slot in as the No. 2 QB for NY Jarhead In Hell, according to projections.
Draft Notes.
NY Jarhead In Hell will live and die with the Chiefs this season, as the selections of Tyreek Hill, Michael Danna, Demone Harris, and Tershawn Wharton give them four players from Kansas City, more than any other team in U S M C Devil Dog Forever. League-wide, the most popular team was the Cowboys, as 15 of them were selected in the draft.
NY Jarhead In Hell are in for a rude awakening in Week 10 when they have seven players on a bye, led by Dallas, Tyreek Hill, and Hayden Hurst. Sabacowboy, your Week 10 opponent, will have five players on a bye.
According to projections, NY Jarhead In Hell won't have an easy path in the late stages in U S M C Devil Dog Forever with a second-half strength of schedule rated as the most difficult. In spite of that, for the full season, NY Jarhead In Hell have drawn a pretty fair path ranked as the 7th hardest.
NY Jarhead In Hell clearly focused on collecting elite talent, having assembled a Stars-and-Scrubs style roster. Collectively, the top players from each position are quite strong, projected to tally the highest point total in the league. Meanwhile, the rest of the roster is a sadder story, as they're expected to compile the 3rd-lowest point total.

Pick Number Minus ADP.
Bars above zero indicate a pick was selected later than a player's ADP. Bars below zero show players that were taken earlier than their ADP.

Schedule by Opponent Points.
Week-by-week schedule with each opponent's projected season points. This chart shows any difficult or easy stretches in the schedule.
How We Grade.
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday. "

'Jarhead': Whose Stories Are They?
Joel Turnipseed, a former marine who wrote "Baghdad Express," a memoir of the first gulf war, was sitting in Minneapolis watching "Monday Night Football" with his wife last week when a commercial for the film "Jarhead" came on the television.
"Jarhead" was directed by Sam Mendes and is based on Anthony Swofford's memoir of the first gulf war. The commercial showed marines in the desert hurrying to don their chemical protection gear. One of the characters, Troy, played by Peter Sarsgaard, put on his hood and turned to another, Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, and in his best Darth Vader voice invited him to "come to the dark side."
Mr. Turnipseed said he was shocked. "I turned to my wife and said, 'Honey, there is something funny about that,' " he said in a phone interview. "That scene is in my book, not Tony's," he added, referring to Mr. Swofford.
A little later on in the game there was another commercial for the film, this one depicting a scene in which a marine colonel gives a motivational speech to soldiers under his command. Much of the scene and some of the dialogue, Mr. Turnipseed recalled, seemed to come directly from the opening pages of "Baghdad Express."
The next day, Mr. Turnipseed went to see an advance screening of the movie. He says he saw enough to convince him that his book had been used for at least part of the movie without credit.
"I turned to my friend during the movie and said, 'I have always wanted to see my book on the big screen and there it is; I just didn't get credit for it,' " said Mr. Turnipseed, who served as a truck driver with the Marine Corps for about 90 days in 1991.
William Broyles Jr., the screenwriter and former marine who adapted Mr. Swofford's book for the movie, said that Mr. Turnipseed was confusing his own experience with the received wisdom of being a marine.
"The joke about the gas mask has been told 10,000 times," Mr. Broyles said by phone. "It is not his joke or mine."
Mr. Broyles admits that there are coincidences. But he says they are just that.
In Mr. Turnipseed's book, a colonel "burst onto the stage, grabbing the microphone from its stand while still in stride, like Wayne Newton doing Patton."
In the shooting script for "Jarhead," stage directions command that "Lieutenant Colonel Kazickis mounts a makeshift stage, grabbing a microphone in mid-stride like a Vegas M.C." What follows is a profanity-laced scene of call and response that is remarkably similar in both plot and language to the scene that follows in Mr. Turnipseed's book.
Mr. Turnipseed said he was loath to raise questions about a film and a screenwriter he holds in high regard.
"There is no way that I am going to come out ahead on this," he said. "The guy who says 'you stole my stuff' is always the jerk, but this is not something that is based on a scene I did; it is verbatim dialogue."
Mr. Broyles, the screenwriter, said he was sympathetic to Mr. Turnipseed's concerns, but he was equally firm in defending the integrity of the work he did on "Jarhead."
"I feel bad that he feels bad," Mr. Broyles said, adding that he had read and admired "Baghdad Express." "Maybe some of it stuck in my mind or maybe it was already there," he said.
"I don't have any conscious memory of using anything out of his book," Mr. Broyles said. "I can remember reading it and thinking, this guy really has it down. It was one of those unintentional coincidences that is frustrating for him, but there has been no effort to take anything from him."
Stephen Sheppard, a lawyer retained by Mr. Turnipseed to look into the matter, said, "We have been engaged by Joel, and it is a case that we are taking sufficiently seriously to explore alternative approaches to resolving this."
For his part, Mr. Swofford said that there was a similar scene in his book and that many of the elements of the speech in question are common to experiences in the Marine Corps. "The speech that Bill wrote for the script is part of the great officer's opera that has gone on for generations," he said. "The repetition and variation and appropriation are part of commander-speak. Bill heard it prior to fighting in Vietnam, and I heard it numerous times fighting for the Corps."
Mr. Broyles said that in truth the scene belongs to no one and to everyone who has ever served.
"These are not my stories, not Tony Swofford's stories or Joel Turnipseed's stories," he said. "These are stories that are held in common by all marines."
